There are a lot of vital camera movements that help define it's place in the catagory 'thriller.' The fact that Harry and his girlfriend don't exchange many words amongst each other and their serious, unsatisfied facial expressions shows they are deep people. The horizontal panning of the camera at the opening of the scene is quite vital as it presents the audience with an insight of Harry's bedroom, which as a teenager is basically an insight of his life. The close up of his face when he is tossing and turning in bed shows that he is unhappy and is clearly being disturbed by this nightmare he is shown to be having.
The close up/over shoulder shot in the graveyard scene is also really important as it allows the viewer to read what Harry is reading and puts you in his shoes for a moment.
The music we used I thought was really effective. We waited until after the phonecall scene (in which there was non-diegetic sound) to add music, and this was also non-diegetic. The music then continued right until the end of the five minutes, and the speech in the graveyard was heared over the music. The music was chilling and eerie, to add mystery.
